what are the functions of xanthophylls and carotenes? how are they different from each other?

Answers

Answered by trincyshaju1977

The difference between the two groups is chemical: xanthophylls contain oxygen, while carotenes are hydrocarbons and do not contain oxygen. Also, the two absorb different wavelengths of light during a plant's photosynthesis process, so xanthophylls are more yellow while carotenes are orange.

Rose28J: are they like chemical substances present in chlorophyll?
